So i am currently using standard android stuff, nothing to sing about there.
i would however like to give an honourable mention to the best phone i ever had and one i still miss to this day, the nokia n900 with maemo 5 OS. For me this was peak nokia. I've even contemplated buying one second hand but... I also like an uncomplicated life
Diggis best phone ever has to go to the Palm Pre 2. WebOS has had an affect an the entire mobile ecosystem. And the Pre 2 was extremely hackable. AT&T only, but you could pull the cellular antenna out of a Pre 1 from Sprint and get the 2 working. You could also overclock the crap out of them. Had to throw one in the freezer a time or two from pushing it a bit too far.
Currently using jailbroken iOS on iPhone 7 while (still!) waiting for my Librem5
Brucehankins i've heard a lot of good things about the palm products but i never breached that gap myself

Brucehankins I might try that at some point. I am waiting for such a project to mature.
LineageOS for microG
Stock Android for first MotoG from motorola, Android Lollipop...
"It's a phone, not a computer" as I like to say, I don't want phones to be able to do what my computer can, if it calls, has instant message like whatsapp(need for work and low cost calls), bank app, and wifi antenae to browse the web a little, then it's fine.
while, I have to admit, I use it for some e-books, prime user
Unmodified Android on a Samsung phone.
markdj There are a few jailbreak tweaks I use a lot, BioProtect (password/TouchID secure folders/apps), Dark Keyboard (still does a better job than Apple implementation IMHO), DeleteForever (tidy up pics), FiveColumnHomeScreen (as it says), Lockscreen custom text (I use it display how to contact me if phone lost), plus a lot of others. Contact me if you want a complete list with reasons

LineageOS for MicroG
I'm currently on /e/ OS (Android with microG integrated) and I'm really satisfied with its performance.
/e/ OS also (lineage + microG) = android w/o google.
Using LineageOS on an Xperia XA2 atm. F-Droid is very impressive. Even then it's a bit uncomfortable that it's a tracking device. Been considering getting a dumb phone that is at home all the time and use my Lineagephone only with wifi and no sim-card.
Could be fun getting another device to try out a Linux mobile OS at some point though.

Yep, I am recycling my trusty Sony Xperia Z5 compact with /e/ OS, it's an unofficial build of the OS but it works and it can be used degooglefied! Hooray!!
